Religious Life of the School
During Lent our Lenten promises continue to be displayed in the hall as a reminder of the promises we made on Ash Wednesday.
The weekly class assemblies continue and this morning, 1D performed their assembly on St Patrick.
Parents are welcome to join us for tea/coffee in the dining hall after the weekly assembly and this is a good opportunity to catch up with other parents and your child’s class teacher.
RE Home Learning
Gospel: A wheat grain (John 12:20-33)
Using the Wednesday Word link below, read this Sunday’s Gospel
and reflect on the questions below with your family.
You will have an opportunity to discuss them again next week in School.
https://www.paperturn-view.com/uk/wednesday-word/messenger?pid=MTA101634&v=5.5
What did Jesus mean when he said, “Now the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified”?
- Why did Jesus compare his death with a wheat grain?
- What did Jesus mean when he said, “Anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for the eternal life”?
- What did Jesus promise to all those who serve him
Wallace Collection
Our volunteer readers and Mrs Byrne brought 21 children to the Wallace Collection on Tuesday. Our volunteer readers visit St Charles every week and read with our children. On Tuesday, they and the children had the opportunity to spend time with each other in a very different setting and by all accounts, a great time was had by all!
Ramadan
This week, Saf, our IT support, came to speak to us about the holy month of Ramadan, which started on Monday. The children listened very carefully and had some great questions to ask him too. We wish the Muslim members of our community and beyond a blessed Ramadan.
Cricket
4H thoroughly enjoyed their cricket lessons with Coach Matt from Platform Cricket. They learnt how to bowl, field, bat and run between the wickets to score points. They had great fun putting everything they learnt together in a whole class game of cricket!
Bird Feeders
Year 3 had so much fun making bird feeders. They will help to encourage birds into our garden. Year 3 also learnt about common birds in our area
